SHRC Investigates Police Inaction, Examines Housing Society Concerns
The Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) is looking into two issues.
One involves the Bandra Police, who are accused of not taking action after a person said they were attacked and wrongly held.
The SHRC is asking why there is no video from the police station.
The second case involves a housing society that claims a resident changed their building illegally, potentially making it unsafe.
The society says the local government officials are not helping solve the problem.
SHRC is investigating Bandra Police over alleged inaction in response to a citizen's complaint of assault and illegal detention.
Saurabh R. Singh alleges an assault by a woman and wrongful detention, providing video evidence.
The SHRC questioned the absence of CCTV footage from the Bandra Police station, referencing a Supreme Court ruling.
The Commission noted inconsistencies in the police's claims regarding the complaint's registration.
A housing society in Govandi alleges unauthorized structural modifications by a resident and lack of BMC action.
